Is what you're living for ...

Someone on my friends list on Facebook shared this photo and question. As soon as I saw it, I knew that I wanted to create an art journaling page inspired by it. Really got me thinking this morning.

Motivation

Made these quick pages tonight trying to get some motivation to do some scrapping. Have been so busy have had hardly any time to create anything all summer, now I feel as if I have nothing driving that creative process. Just have to get back into the habit of creating daily. Have a few challenges I am working on in September to get me motivated once again, and next week we are back to our normal routine so there will be time to nurture that creative process. Can't wait.

 

Anyways, here's those quickpages:

Delight Your Senses

I came across this exercise in the Jamie Ridler Studios Newsletter and thought it was a great exercise to complete. The goal is to list the things that delight your senses and then in the month of June try and experience those things.

What delights you?

A simple way to touch in and reconnect with  your delights is to start with your senses.

What sights, sounds, tastes, smells and sensations do you enjoy? Fresh baked brownies? The feel of yarn between your fingers? The early morning breeze? Your baby's giggle?

Grab your journal or print the worksheet found in the Jamie Ridler Studios Newsletter and gather your delights - 5 per sense - like I have below. See how many you can invite into your life this month - and enjoy!
